Bring Your Pet to the Book Launch
Sam’s book is officially out on September 1, 2020. Come celebrate on Zoom.
In these unusual times, you have to consider unusual ways to launch a book. So, on September 13 at 6:30pm, CT, Sam is having a big Zoom party and broadcasting live on Instagram. We will officially launch Walks with Sam, and we are inviting you and your pet.
Yes, bring the dog, the cat, the goldfish in its bowl. The Zoom experience will hold dozens of us. Invites are out soon and there’s a link below. We are asking for you to RSVP so we can be prepared. We hope to have some giveaways and a short reading from the book. And yes, of course, Sam will have a chance to meet all your pets.
Invites will come in many ways — email, Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram. Or simply get it right HERE.
Walks with Sam has been receiving some great early reviews, and I am honored and thrilled with the buzz. It’s based on a series of walks I took at a time in which I needed some reflective space. My sister had recently died, I had reached a milestone age, and it was time to think about what was next in this big life journey. Sam joined me for these contemplative walks and became my unknowing sage. All was documented in a blog. The blog became a book. The book is now out from Roundfire Books, U.K.
